Going by the strictest interpretation of the MUTCD, the number for the new ramp from I-95 north to RI 4 would be 24C with all other numbering here left alone - even though that would lead to a different number for each direction (see also: NY 481).

Is the strictest interpretation of the MUTCD always "round down", even though it means an exit at mile marker 24.99 becomes 24?

If true, someone better not tell Mass DOT...

I believe so, given how NYSDOT assigns mile-based exits.  Although according to the mile markers, RI 4 is at 24.5.  At least RI isn't CT - they would go with 23 for RI 2 SB (while RI 2 is past MP 24, the ramp diverges before it), 24A for RI 2 NB, and 24B for RI 4!
